I believe it lias not been denied by those who advocate the claims of Michigan, that Congress liad a right to extend all or cither of the three Southern States north lo the territorial line, according to their limits as set out in the first part ot the :tli article of the ordinance; but they contend that Congress must include in each of those States all or none of the territory which lies within its limits north of that line; that they cannot include a part and exclude another part; that an option is given them in fixing the boun daries ot those States on the north, but no dis-cretion beyond the mere choice of one of the two lines. In aid of the several arguments which I have advanced against this position, I will now adduce a series of acts of Congress showing a legislative construction of their own powers.The east and west line named in the ordinance of 1787, has but a single call, "the most south-erly bend or extension of Lake Michigan;" it iias no terminus to the east or west it of course passes across the whole territory and if the position be correct that Congress, could not extend any State beyond that line without including nil the territory which lay beyond it and due north of such State, then Congress in the formation of 'the State of Ohio, and tho designation of its boundary, has violated the ordinance. In the act of April !10, 18(12, under which Ohio was authorized to form a State Government, the lino running due east from the southerly extreme of Lake .Michigan, is taken in part a sllio northern boundary of tho contemplated Stale. Thus far it agrees with the line named in the ordinance, but it introduces another call, ".nice Erie, or the territorial line, and thence with the same through Lake Erio to tho Pennsylvania lino," making a totally different northern huundary. The two lines run togclhcr until they touch Lake Erio, then diverge widely. The line named in the ordinance runs through the southern bend of Lake Erie, and passing out of it cuts oil a large extent of territory, with 50 or 011,11110 in-haliTtai!. in the northeast corner of the State of Ohio, to whicliMichigan has the same right, by virtue of the ordUianee, that sho has to the country north of that line and south of the northern Cape of the Miami Cay. lint Congress did not consider themselves bound by the ordinance to pursue that line, or they acted under a mistake as to the true position of Lake Michigan, the bearing of which error I will by and by con-sider.In the formation of the Stale of Indians', Congress disregarded this assumed restriction in the ordinance, or they had failed to discover it. That Stato is extended ten miles north of the southerly extreme of Lake Michigan; and Illinois, which was admitted a few years after, is extended north about thirty-five miles further than Indiana, and within a few miles of the line of latitude which, according to the old maps, to which I shall by and by more particularly refer, cut through the southerly extreme of Lake Michigan. The mistake which had been made in the position of the object of that call, was substantially corrected in the case of Illinois. I need not now advert lo the unhappy consequences which would fluw from holding tho cast and west line, named in the ordinance, as a fixed and immovable boundary: the question is too clear, by the very language of the ordinance itself, and the legislative constructions of it have been too frequent and unequivocal to require this auxiliary aid in settling the principle: still it ought not to be forgotten that the establish-mentof the doctrine contended forby Michigan, involves, as its consequence, tho dismemberment of three States of this Union, and the bringing of a largo number of their citizens under a Government which tlicy did not help to torm, and to which they have never yielded, and to which I believe they nevor will yield, their willing allegiance. Having, as I trust, established the position, if any arguments were necessary to establish it, that Congress has power to pass this act, without violating the Constitution, or compact, or any principle which ought to govern legislators, I will now proceed to offer some reasons why tho proposed adjustment of boundary ought to be made. First, then, it was the intent of the framcrs of the ordinance of 1787, that the northern line of each of tho three Southern States should extend north of the points over which that cast and west line is, by actual observation and stir vey, found to pass. This intent is proved by tho clearest evidence. At the time of the passage of that ordinance we had no information of the country north and west of Lake Erie, save what we derived from observations made or collected under the Colonial Government. A map of that country, published in 1755, and still familiarly known as Mitchell's Map, was the first in authority in England and America from the time of its publication till long after tho date of the ordinance. It is said to havo been the map referred to by the American and Uritisli Commissioners at the treaty of peace in 178:). And in the particulars in which it bears upon the present question, it was copied, or very closely followed, in all the maps which appeared in our country from that time until after the close of the late war. That map, and, indeed, every contemporaneous map that I have seen, fixed the latitude of the southern extreme of Lake Michigan about 42 (leg. 20 min. north, or about 45 miles north of its actual position; and so situated with regard to Lake Erie, that a line running due cast through it would touch the Lake near its head, or the Detroit river, a little north of its entrance into the Lake. I have laid upon your tablo, and on that of ennh nf the Senators, u copy on a reduced scale, of this map, as it is preserve"! in the Stato Department, by which may be seen at a glanco tho pnsilinti of those Lakes, and of that line, as it was then believed and understood to exist. Congress had earnestly sought tho poiver of fixing the limits ol the proposed States according to natural boun darics, so that nono of them should be improperly intersected by rivers or lakes, and so that there should be secure to each such natural advantages of navigation as most properly pertained to it. They obtained that power, and intended to exert it for tho benefit nf each of tho new States; and in fixing that east mid west, they obviously inton led to prohibit any futiiro Con-gren, from bringing down tho northern lino ol . that State which is now Ohio, south of a line which would touch Lake Erio near its head, or the Detroit river above the Lake. Ought that intont to be defeated by a mistake, by misinfor mation, as to tho position of a natural object, in a hostile COIintrv. remntn fmm mi nnrt nf tho Stale whoso boundary was to bo fixed! We are of opinion that the intent of the framcrs of that ordinance ought to be carried into effect, so far as it is necessary for the well-being of tho State that it shall he so. It can bo shown that the same intent prevailed with the Congress who passed the act of 1802, under which Ohio framed her Constitution, and came into the Union as a sovereign and independent State. Tho line designated as her Northern boundary is tho Bamo as that hr-Cnm referred to, laid down on Mitchell's Man. That map then hung, as I have been informed, in the Committee room of the Committee of Congress wbo reported that law. That there was a mistake in the position of this line by the Congress which enacted the law of April lidtb, 1802, is proved further by the fact, that the boundary they affix lo Ohio is an impossible boundary. That law provides that the northern lino shall run due east through the southerly extreme of Lake Michigan until it intersect Lake Erie or the Territorial line, thence with the tame through Lake Erie to the Pennsylvania line. This boundary, therefore, is based on the assumption that that east and west line will touch the Territorial line (which is tho Northern Boundary line of the United State) in Lake Erie, or north of it; ouuverwise it could not, without changing its direction, run with it, through Lake Erio to the Pennsylvania line. Hut that line does not touch the Northern Boundary line of the United Statesat anv point in Lake Erie. The act of tho Mth Julv! 18:12. directs the President " to cause to bo ascertained, (amongst other things) by accurate ob servation, the latitude ami longiludo of tho ooumoriy extreme of Lake Michigan. " ' Also, that he causo to bo ascertained, with all practicable accuracy, the latitude and longitude of the most southerly point in the Northern iiounuary line or tho United Stales in Lake Eric." The performance of this dutv was. as a matter of course, assigned by tho President to the War Department. And among the Executive Documents of 18:13-4, vol. 0, Doc. 4()7, is found the report, in part, of the Engineer cm-ployed to perform that service. He fixes the latitudo of iho southern cxtremo of Lake Michigan at 41 deg. !17 min. 07.0 sec. North. His observations as to the southern nninl nf tlin Northern Huundary of the United States in Lake Erie, do not lay claim to accuracy, but he sun- puses it to be in latitudo 41 deg. :I8. min. !18 sec, being north of tho east and west lino 1 miln .'.1140 yards. Hut there was another and bet ter mode of ascertaining tho last named fact than that adopted by the Department. It will bo remembered that missiuns were appointed by the United States and Great Britain to mark tho boundary between the two countries under the treaty of Ghent. This dutv was performed this line was marked with great care through the Western part of Lake Erie, and the map showing its position is among tho archives of Mate. I Hold in my hand a letler from Thomas P. Jones, keeper of the archives, directed to Air. Vinton, of the Ohio delegation in the irnn of Representatives, dated January 7, lSIj"), in which ne siaies mat lie lias carefully examined the map of Lake Erie, as laid down and marked out by those Commissioners, and that he finds the latitude of the most southern noint to hn 41 deg. 39 min. 4:1 sec, as nearly as he can as certain oy uio scale, tint that the measurement may possibly vary a second or so from the truth: so that the east and west line would not touch the Northern Boundary lino by about three miles. I understand, however, for I havo not yet seen tho report, that the Department has at last brought the two lines together. Lake Michigan, I believe, sfill holds its first position Us southern extremity would move no farther .orin nut the boundary lino between the United Slates and Great Britain has been found more flexible, and has come about four miles south of the point at which it was fixed by the Commsssionors under tho treaty of Ghent This has, it is true, been an cxparto proceeding by the United States; hut Great llritain cannot object to it, as it gives her (if the new position of the line bo adhered to,) jurisdiction over many mucs oi me surlaco of the Lake, which was assigned by the joint Commisssoncrs to the United States. Eur tho nresent. I inivnvnr. I am dispose toconsidor the line run by the Com missioners oi the United Slates and Great Britain, in pursuance of a treaty stipulation, as the true boundary between tho two countries Taking then the position of tho southerly r-v. trcmo of Lake Michigan, ns found by Captain aiuoii, ami me southern point of the Northern Boundary line of the United States in Lake Erio, as settled by the Commissioners, nml n measured on their map by the keeper of tho puh- ..u u.uiii.i-s, ii is ciear mat these lines do not close, and that one of them rtlimt lift vnriod hv legislative enactment or judicial construction, or the Slate of Ohio has no boundary. This state of things could not have been in accordance with the intent and purposo of tho framcrs of tho law of April IIO, 1802. The line, then, so far as it touches thn hmm. dary of Ohio, was intended, by the Congress of me unueo males, to bo where it appears on Mitchell's map, and tho other maps of the day. If this were tho case if two individuals contracting for the transfer of land, who had been governed in their contract by a plat spread out ueiom mem, ami ii such contract had been made, and such map exhibited as showing tho boundary between individuals, I ask every land lawyer here, if a reference in a deed In nmn rmni object as that from which one of Hie boundary lines should emanalo, when tho position of that object was proved to have been mistaken by the liariius, wuuiu control me hounds of the grant! In equity would it? would it between man and man, the facts being fully mado out! would it be permitted to defeat the manifest intent and purposo of both parlies! We know well it would not. We know that where the lines and bounds of a tract of land are shown by the vender to tho purchaser, either upon the ground or on a plat, and tho description in tho deed docs not cover it, no mattor whether by accident or design, a court of equity will hold tho conveyance to be according to the boundary shown, and so correct the deed. In the acts of Government there is no distinction between law and equity. The appeal to law, as it regards a na tion, is an appeal to Iho national sense of justice, and an obligation much less strong than that which would mnvo a court of equity, in the case nf an individual, ought to bo sufficient, especially in case lilto this, to command the action ofajust and generous nation. But Congress not only intended to give n boundary which included the mouth of the Miami of the Lake and its bay, but tho Ponpln of Ohio, in convention, asked and expected to receive it. They believed tho linn included tho Miami Bay, and a doubt was for the first time thrown upon it by information received from a trapper who roturneil from tho shores ol Lake Michigan while the Convention was in session, which raused Iho insertion of tho proviso in the 7th section of tho fllh articlo of tho constitution. This constitution was accented by Congross without a syllable, yea or nay, on tho subject of oi mo proviso, it was accepted all togolher, PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY SCOTT & WRIGHT too proviso tunning part of it. No objection was urged to it by Conrrress. or hv n,n f',,mm;i. tee of Congress which reported on the Constitution. And when we consider that this proviso ..... uU ciiuiciy in accoruanco with the end and aim of the resolution of Conercss of the 7,1. f T..l T7L'fi ... 1 , - . . 1,r,u which asicsot Virginia a mo uiiiuauoii ui nor ueeu oi cession, with a view to regard natural boundaries, and the commercial relations of the contemplated Siainm 1 1. t ;, accorded with the views of the Legislature of r iigiiiiu, wuu cuangeu meir deed of cession for that express and declared purnoso: that if nn. cords with the views of tho framers nf thn fir. dinauco of 177 as appears by the map of their uay, snowing tneir opinion ot Ihe line which should bound the contemplated States; that it accords also with the opinion of Ihe Congress who passed tho law under which Ohio formed her Constitution and State Government; that this proviso, the solemn act of that People, mot in convention, declares that as.a part nf ihmi- unsiiiuuon mcy asit and cllm of Congress that boundary; and finally, when it is considered that tho whole constitution was accepted without adissent to that proviso, I thiuk astrong ciniauie, n not legal right is presented on the part of Ohio, for the definitive sanction of the boundary which she claims; and that it is an irresistible anneal to tho of tho nation. And I for one care not whether this act bo passed on the ground that Ohio is entitled to the, boundary claimed by law, by equity, or on principles of political justice and expediency but sure 1 am that tho Pcoplo of tl.t Ut.t. C..I . . '" i strongly mat tho concession is due them, and that dissatisfaction will be general and deep if it bo withheld. But it is said that tho rightt of Michigan arc implicated in the adjustment proposed by this bill, and that it cannot pass without doinir in- justice to that Territory but, for myself, I can discover nothing solid in this objection. I have already shown that that Territory has no riirht to any particular boundary, either by virtuo of the ordinanco of 1787, or any of tho acts of congress, n i nave succeeded in establishing this, what is left of her claim on those general principles of pulitical justico and expediency, to which I have appealed in behalf of Ohio! Michigan is a temporary territorial Government, extending over about 177,000 square miles of territory, equal in extent to three of the largest States in the Unhn. It was called into oxislonco by an act of Congress, and so lung as it continues a Territory it is subject to be changed and modified, as to boundary and extent, at tho pleasure of the samo power. The inhabitants have their rights as American citizens secured under the ordinance of 1737, and various acts of Congress, but they havo no territorial rights; and .Michigan, as such, has none against tho will of Congress. The question of expediency only, then occurs in behalf of a State that is to bo hereafter formed north of Ohio and Indiana, and I ask, is it expedient that that Stato should hold tho mouth of the Miami, which has its whole navigable course in Ohio and In. diana, and control its entrance! Those two States aro constructing a canal connecting the Miami bay with the Wabash river: and thai grand work is now delayed, awaking the decis ion of this question. 1 ask, is it expedient that a Stale, which you aro lo form hereafter north of these two States, should hold this outlet of the vast region which is intersected by Ibis canal! That the new State should have delivered to her Iho key, and he the sole keeper, of the entrance lo Iho noble edifice creeled by the industry and enterprise of her neighbors! It is not right. And the prido of those Slates must be wounded, and their sense of justice outraged, by such adetermiiiatiun. Bui again, what policy is there in giving Iho new Slate, when it shall bo created, the jurisdiction over this disputed territory! Is the territory of lhat Stato without it likely to be too small, ordoes it want fur navigable communication! Neither. One hundred and scveuty-seven thousand square miles, an extent equal to the Mm- largest Slates in tho Union, must be formed into no more than two States, and its easlern portion has advantages of navigation equalled by few Slates ou the Atlantic seaboard. Then, with respect to those who belong to the unclaimed part of tho territory who profess lo he contending for their rights, und who accuse Ohio of ambitiun, and usurpation, and injustice; what is their claim, and for what do they con tend! Not tho right of self government, or the right to chooso their own rulers, or the jurisdiction to which they shall be attached for nothing of this is sought to bo wrested from thcin: but they claim to govern their neighbors, who deny them allegiance. Or if not to govern thein, they wish lo Jarre into their fellowship and fraternity those who turn from Ihcm with fear and aversion, and who seek protection from Ohio, wuom mey mum more regardful of their feel ings.and more friendly to theirintercsls. Those, who in the plentiludo of their chivalrv wish tn protect tho weak against tho stromr. would ,1,, well to think of extending that protection over mis people, who , it attached to Michigan, will icci incmseives delivered over to a kind of po ......... UUwUaKu, a,iU nuo mo nanus ot those whom they look upon ns their adversaries and rivals. Something is surely due to the opinions and feelings of these people of the disputed territory. If joined to Michigan, they cannot and they will not he content with theircondition. They contend against it now, like men who are struggling for all that they hold dear and sacred, and against whatever is deemed most calamitous. They thiuk (but I cannot answer for tho correctness of their opinion,) lhat. instead of nn. joy ing the privileges of freemen instead of be ing placed in the hands of a foslcring and paternal government, which would watch over and prulect their interests, and aid in the improvement of their natural advantages, and in the development of their resources Ihov wnnl.l h delivered over to a bitter adversarv. and a do. tcrminod and invctcralo rival. Mr. President, I ask in behalf of Ohio, and I most earnestly ask, an oarly decision of this question. It has been, for years past, the victim of procrastination. For more than 20 years has Ohio presented herself, year after year, at the bar of Congress, as a petitioner for what sho deems her right what this bndy, whenever it has spoken, has declared to be her's, either on principles of justice or of national policy hut sho has been delayed, postponed, and the measure for her redress lust in the other House, without a hearing had, or an opinion elicited.

TUTTLE Oct. 309 If From the National Intelligencer. in a ueoato which occurred in the IIouso of Itcpresentativcs on .Thursday last, upon the Resolution offered by Col. Johnson, of Ky., for supplying with copies of the printed documents erlain Heads of Department and Bureaus, and other Officers of the Government, some remarks wore made by Mr. Wise, of Virr-inia. which, nl. though tho subject of the debate was in itself of I no great magnitude, deserve to bo brou"ht out into strong relief. We have alwaysbeen under thei impression that a majority of the last IIouso of Representatives was opposed, in conscience and in principle, to the removal of the depositcs of public money from the Bank of the United States; and something was said, in other quarters, of the management by which their votes weto mado to misrepresent their opinions. But we never expected to hear tho facts of such management to be made a matter of nnnfl.lnnt and uncontradicted assertion on the floor of the House, as they were bv Mr. Wise in the remarks WHICH 101IUW. ' REMARKS OF MR. WISE, OF VIRGINIA, In the Howe of Representative!, on Thursday, lth. Mr Wise said, that ho wim nUorlv nnnnnnrl tn this res jluiion on the score of economy; but in another, and much more important point of view, such a resolution was actually abhorrent to the principles of our Govern ment, una 10 tne independence ol the legislation of this House, fcjir, instead of being what we are by tho Con- aiiiuuun, uiiniuepeiiuent orancn oi the Wntioual Legislature, this resolution would resolve us into a mere com- hittick, lo report proceedings of the Legislative deparl- ,c jut-mil cc- uenuunicn may not intend sueli nn ellect, but this resolution does, in semblance and in sntistance, recognize a responsibility on tho part of this House to the Executive forils legislative acts and proceedings. What! sir, has it come to this, that wo shall daily carry to the foot of tho throno a report of our proceedings, in order to show not to the President, hut to Ins very underlings "thus far have wo gone," in order mat incv may say, "thus tar slmlt thou go and no far iner- .

I llero Mr. Anthony (of Pa.) made some remarks, which he concluded bv savins' that "ie F.rrrulh-n tn. mrtnu nls had a right to kiiow what we were doing in Mr. Wise again rose and said, that he was astonished to hear such a rigid admitted or claimed lor the Executive on that fhor. Ho would only call tho attention of the House and the country to this claim for tho Executive as a right.' Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky, in reply to the gentleman from Virginia, challenged him to put his finger upon anyone act of Executive usurpation; rcmni king at the same tune, that it was easy lo deal in general denunciations and declarations, but more difficult to support them bv nets. He (.Mr..!.) lojked to the voice of the people ns his guide, and ho doubted not that the President did. The President had been supported, in ull his nci3, by n largo majority of the people, and could, therefore, with more reason, complain of the courso of the gentleman, than the gentleman could of his. Mr. Wise said, in rejoinder, lhat the gentleman from Kentucky, (Col. Johnson,) hod called upon him to do that which it was the easiest tiling imaginable to do. He would give him and the country the information asked tor with the greatest pleasure; he wns happy to havo the opportunity to give tho gentleman n satisfactory and direct reply, mid wns ready and willing to put his linger upon sotiie nets of Executive interference with the legislation of that House. When I speak, however, of Executive interference, I do not mean the net l tl, ".ttrtltll-n, .Ui,., a,iil II I IIIH lie HO llllUt'lSlUOO, U1H the acts of tho whole of the Departments. Is it possible, sir, that the gentleman means it to bo understood by his milking this call, and by his manner of making it, that he himself does not suppose specifications of act.ve iuterniei Idling with our business of leiislntion enn be made) Whv,sir, the gentleman trips! 'Not specify acts of Executive interference! Surely the gentleman knows that the Constitution makes it the duty of the President to eoiniimiiii-ate loCongress, by his Message, his, the Executive's, views of all our relations, and 'nu all subjects nf legislation, lie isennstitiitioiially bound to give us officially his opinions on what we should do, ami should not do, as legislators. Hut let not ihe genileuian understand me as pointing to ii.t constitutional dittii as one of my specifications of Executive iiitrrfercncc. To send us his nicssngo is no net of inleriiKililling, ii is nn net of dutv nml obligation. Mr, I do not intend to evade tho gentleman's cull. 1 never will evade any responsibility on any occasion. 1 allude to this nmslitutitinal duty, to contrast it expressly mm inner aeis winch the resident's or t ic Executive's duly lorbiils. I allude to it for the purpose of reminding urn Hi iiiii-iii.nl mat ino inhslltlltmn ll.xes Uio measure and mode of Executive interposition in nets nf leirishi- lion. I he Constitution intends that the President shall, by n public message, call our attention Ui nil siihiectsof legislative action, nml that then tho Executive functions shall cense until we havo perlormed our nets, and referred them lo lino for his constitutional sanction or veto, And the Constitution intends, must cautiously nml ii-nl. ously intends, that whilst performing our acts, whilst deliberating, whilst discussing, whilst deciding upon laivs, in ne pnsseu or rejected, we shall he tree und independent of Executive iulluence. And now, sir, what I have said, meant to say, and mean to repeat, is, that we .uu nn urns ore nun independent, ihai tno rixecutive docs iicmiffMr, improperly, tlnngcrouslv.nnd frequent ly, with our legislative action! The gentleman nsks of nic lo point to the instances, and 1 will specify sumo of them. Wns it not admitted the other dnv on this floor, bv n member nl "ihe parte." and die chairman nf n eotiiinil. tee, (Mr. 8atherlnnd,) that our committees do not make their own reports! Who dors make them! not write them, w,make them? Who but those who ore consult ed, and who advise on all our lending measures, and upon the "nuen" of the "cid" of nil our measures ! The underlines and all tell us what is to he Hon,-. nn.l what not! Cpnn the Appropriation bills, particularly, mm mm me eiuei coinroi, tne executive or the Legislative Department? Sir, I refer to nil the members of the House ns witnesses. I nsk of nil the chairmen of committees, of every member of each committee, if tho Executive Departments do not interfero with our legislation? Not always, perhaps, with the knowledge and consent or by Ihe onlnrof the President, but habitually without ordors, and always in pursuance of their own interests. But this in dealing too much in generalities for my own interest, and is trilling, comparatively, with a subject of most serious moment. I will specify a more signal nnd a wnrning instance of Executive interference with the legislntivc action of this House by the President himself, the facts in relation to which I can verify and riinke good beforo the House nnd the nation. Sir, the power of tho President over a single appoint-mcnt alone, commanded, on this floor, thirti-five votes ot lcns', in favor of one ot the most importnrit Executive acts which ever agitated this country or affected its interests. On no other question than the great Dcposite Question of last session, I verily believe and have reason to know I would, if required, mnke oath in support ot the opinion that the majority of tho House was decidedly against the set of the President, in reason, conviction, and conse encc. But, sir, tho true sense of the Commons wns stifled. The Speaker of the House wns kept in tlrnt chair, (jininting to the Speaker's chair,) with nn Executive promise in his )ocket until tho work of the ninstcr wns finished. There sal the Sneaker, like ii i .ii,i , i .mi w-e oooy pontic, wlneli lniiulieil its roots to more than two or three, or two or three dozen seats on this Moor! There were no less than four chairmen nfl tne prmcijiai standing committees with their eves of aspiiuiion nxeii iiion that high place, each longing tn be successor to the incumlieiit ; ami besides these, there wns an.inier rnnitiiiate, also ou nn iiiimriant committee, i .. mi iimiiiiigoi tne sunorilinateson these coinuiiltees, who no doubt were some of them willing to have their i-iiiiiriiiun respectively elected Speaker, to crenle n fair Micunry inr ihemselyes, it is surely moderate in ealeit latum lo say thnt each ol those live candidate had nt 1..B..I - 1...IC .1 ..I' I - ' . , .. i. ii min inizi-ii iii ze.noiis inenos tnev were poor ""1 yuan nor. r.nin enniiuiute looked to what is nere called "tlitmuiistration rafri," a term whief imioris i-.xeeutive intorlerenee, bv tho hv, lo elect him I and according to inv arithmetic, sir, the five candidates with their six friends each, msHo thirty-five No. .oiis, nun aecoi amg io tne worth ot the prize of Speak- er's chair, were morally certain to be "Administration rofrj." Ecss than one-third of that number of votes' would, if changed from one side to tho other, havo I changed the vole of the House on that vital oucstion- and 1 presume that no one here, who see ,! k iv. fivo votes, taken ns ihe least possible number in hn nf wu uii sue aim kiiow, can uouiit mat these thirti- fected, were not influenced by,"but left free and independent of Executive influence! Dv tho aid of them. two officers, the Minister to England and the Spcitkerof in,. nu in ucpii-neiiuuivcs, tne one executive, the other Legislative one of whom the President appoints, tho other he does not actually npioint the President, 1 suppose, was not enabled to command a majority on this floor! What may not our President do in legislation when he hus our Speaker for hie tool? So much for specifications, by which, let it bo understood, I do not intend to be involved in any personalities.

I believe it lias not been denied by those who advocate the claims of Michigan, that Congress liad a right to extend all or cither of the three Southern States north lo the territorial line, according to their limits as set out in the first part ot the :tli article of the ordinance; but they contend that Congress must include in each of those States all or none of the territory which lies within its limits north of that line; that they cannot include a part and exclude another part; that an option is given them in fixing the boun daries ot those States on the north, but no dis-cretion beyond the mere choice of one of the two lines. In aid of the several arguments which I have advanced against this position, I will now adduce a series of acts of Congress showing a legislative construction of their own powers.The east and west line named in the ordinance of 1787, has but a single call, "the most south-erly bend or extension of Lake Michigan;" it iias no terminus to the east or west it of course passes across the whole territory and if the position be correct that Congress, could not extend any State beyond that line without including nil the territory which lay beyond it and due north of such State, then Congress in the formation of 'the State of Ohio, and tho designation of its boundary, has violated the ordinance. In the act of April !10, 18(12, under which Ohio was authorized to form a State Government, the lino running due east from the southerly extreme of Lake .Michigan, is taken in part a sllio northern boundary of tho contemplated Stale. Thus far it agrees with the line named in the ordinance, but it introduces another call, ".nice Erie, or the territorial line, and thence with the same through Lake Erio to tho Pennsylvania lino," making a totally different northern huundary. The two lines run togclhcr until they touch Lake Erio, then diverge widely. The line named in the ordinance runs through the southern bend of Lake Erie, and passing out of it cuts oil a large extent of territory, with 50 or 011,11110 in-haliTtai!. in the northeast corner of the State of Ohio, to whicliMichigan has the same right, by virtue of the ordUianee, that sho has to the country north of that line and south of the northern Cape of the Miami Cay. lint Congress did not consider themselves bound by the ordinance to pursue that line, or they acted under a mistake as to the true position of Lake Michigan, the bearing of which error I will by and by con-sider.In the formation of the Stale of Indians', Congress disregarded this assumed restriction in the ordinance, or they had failed to discover it. That Stato is extended ten miles north of the southerly extreme of Lake Michigan; and Illinois, which was admitted a few years after, is extended north about thirty-five miles further than Indiana, and within a few miles of the line of latitude which, according to the old maps, to which I shall by and by more particularly refer, cut through the southerly extreme of Lake Michigan. The mistake which had been made in the position of the object of that call, was substantially corrected in the case of Illinois. I need not now advert lo the unhappy consequences which would fluw from holding tho cast and west line, named in the ordinance, as a fixed and immovable boundary: the question is too clear, by the very language of the ordinance itself, and the legislative constructions of it have been too frequent and unequivocal to require this auxiliary aid in settling the principle: still it ought not to be forgotten that the establish-mentof the doctrine contended forby Michigan, involves, as its consequence, tho dismemberment of three States of this Union, and the bringing of a largo number of their citizens under a Government which tlicy did not help to torm, and to which they have never yielded, and to which I believe they nevor will yield, their willing allegiance. Having, as I trust, established the position, if any arguments were necessary to establish it, that Congress has power to pass this act, without violating the Constitution, or compact, or any principle which ought to govern legislators, I will now proceed to offer some reasons why tho proposed adjustment of boundary ought to be made. First, then, it was the intent of the framcrs of the ordinance of 1787, that the northern line of each of tho three Southern States should extend north of the points over which that cast and west line is, by actual observation and stir vey, found to pass. This intent is proved by tho clearest evidence. At the time of the passage of that ordinance we had no information of the country north and west of Lake Erie, save what we derived from observations made or collected under the Colonial Government. A map of that country, published in 1755, and still familiarly known as Mitchell's Map, was the first in authority in England and America from the time of its publication till long after tho date of the ordinance. It is said to havo been the map referred to by the American and Uritisli Commissioners at the treaty of peace in 178:). And in the particulars in which it bears upon the present question, it was copied, or very closely followed, in all the maps which appeared in our country from that time until after the close of the late war. That map, and, indeed, every contemporaneous map that I have seen, fixed the latitude of the southern extreme of Lake Michigan about 42 (leg. 20 min. north, or about 45 miles north of its actual position; and so situated with regard to Lake Erie, that a line running due cast through it would touch the Lake near its head, or the Detroit river, a little north of its entrance into the Lake. I have laid upon your tablo, and on that of ennh nf the Senators, u copy on a reduced scale, of this map, as it is preserve"! in the Stato Department, by which may be seen at a glanco tho pnsilinti of those Lakes, and of that line, as it was then believed and understood to exist. Congress had earnestly sought tho poiver of fixing the limits ol the proposed States according to natural boun darics, so that nono of them should be improperly intersected by rivers or lakes, and so that there should be secure to each such natural advantages of navigation as most properly pertained to it. They obtained that power, and intended to exert it for tho benefit nf each of tho new States; and in fixing that east mid west, they obviously inton led to prohibit any futiiro Con-gren, from bringing down tho northern lino ol . that State which is now Ohio, south of a line which would touch Lake Erio near its head, or the Detroit river above the Lake. Ought that intont to be defeated by a mistake, by misinfor mation, as to tho position of a natural object, in a hostile COIintrv. remntn fmm mi nnrt nf tho Stale whoso boundary was to bo fixed! We are of opinion that the intent of the framcrs of that ordinance ought to be carried into effect, so far as it is necessary for the well-being of tho State that it shall he so. It can bo shown that the same intent prevailed with the Congress who passed the act of 1802, under which Ohio framed her Constitution, and came into the Union as a sovereign and independent State. Tho line designated as her Northern boundary is tho Bamo as that hr-Cnm referred to, laid down on Mitchell's Man. That map then hung, as I have been informed, in the Committee room of the Committee of Congress wbo reported that law. That there was a mistake in the position of this line by the Congress which enacted the law of April lidtb, 1802, is proved further by the fact, that the boundary they affix lo Ohio is an impossible boundary. That law provides that the northern lino shall run due east through the southerly extreme of Lake Michigan until it intersect Lake Erie or the Territorial line, thence with the tame through Lake Erie to the Pennsylvania line. This boundary, therefore, is based on the assumption that that east and west line will touch the Territorial line (which is tho Northern Boundary line of the United State) in Lake Erie, or north of it; ouuverwise it could not, without changing its direction, run with it, through Lake Erio to the Pennsylvania line. Hut that line does not touch the Northern Boundary line of the United Statesat anv point in Lake Erie. The act of tho Mth Julv! 18:12. directs the President " to cause to bo ascertained, (amongst other things) by accurate ob servation, the latitude ami longiludo of tho ooumoriy extreme of Lake Michigan. " ' Also, that he causo to bo ascertained, with all practicable accuracy, the latitude and longitude of the most southerly point in the Northern iiounuary line or tho United Stales in Lake Eric." The performance of this dutv was. as a matter of course, assigned by tho President to the War Department. And among the Executive Documents of 18:13-4, vol. 0, Doc. 4()7, is found the report, in part, of the Engineer cm-ployed to perform that service. He fixes the latitudo of iho southern cxtremo of Lake Michigan at 41 deg. !17 min. 07.0 sec. North. His observations as to the southern nninl nf tlin Northern Huundary of the United States in Lake Erie, do not lay claim to accuracy, but he sun- puses it to be in latitudo 41 deg. :I8. min. !18 sec, being north of tho east and west lino 1 miln .'.1140 yards. Hut there was another and bet ter mode of ascertaining tho last named fact than that adopted by the Department. It will bo remembered that missiuns were appointed by the United States and Great Britain to mark tho boundary between the two countries under the treaty of Ghent. This dutv was performed this line was marked with great care through the Western part of Lake Erie, and the map showing its position is among tho archives of Mate. I Hold in my hand a letler from Thomas P. Jones, keeper of the archives, directed to Air. Vinton, of the Ohio delegation in the irnn of Representatives, dated January 7, lSIj"), in which ne siaies mat lie lias carefully examined the map of Lake Erie, as laid down and marked out by those Commissioners, and that he finds the latitude of the most southern noint to hn 41 deg. 39 min. 4:1 sec, as nearly as he can as certain oy uio scale, tint that the measurement may possibly vary a second or so from the truth: so that the east and west line would not touch the Northern Boundary lino by about three miles. I understand, however, for I havo not yet seen tho report, that the Department has at last brought the two lines together. Lake Michigan, I believe, sfill holds its first position Us southern extremity would move no farther .orin nut the boundary lino between the United Slates and Great Britain has been found more flexible, and has come about four miles south of the point at which it was fixed by the Commsssionors under tho treaty of Ghent This has, it is true, been an cxparto proceeding by the United States; hut Great llritain cannot object to it, as it gives her (if the new position of the line bo adhered to,) jurisdiction over many mucs oi me surlaco of the Lake, which was assigned by the joint Commisssoncrs to the United States. Eur tho nresent. I inivnvnr. I am dispose toconsidor the line run by the Com missioners oi the United Slates and Great Britain, in pursuance of a treaty stipulation, as the true boundary between tho two countries Taking then the position of tho southerly r-v. trcmo of Lake Michigan, ns found by Captain aiuoii, ami me southern point of the Northern Boundary line of the United States in Lake Erio, as settled by the Commissioners, nml n measured on their map by the keeper of tho puh- ..u u.uiii.i-s, ii is ciear mat these lines do not close, and that one of them rtlimt lift vnriod hv legislative enactment or judicial construction, or the Slate of Ohio has no boundary. This state of things could not have been in accordance with the intent and purposo of tho framcrs of tho law of April IIO, 1802. The line, then, so far as it touches thn hmm. dary of Ohio, was intended, by the Congress of me unueo males, to bo where it appears on Mitchell's map, and tho other maps of the day. If this were tho case if two individuals contracting for the transfer of land, who had been governed in their contract by a plat spread out ueiom mem, ami ii such contract had been made, and such map exhibited as showing tho boundary between individuals, I ask every land lawyer here, if a reference in a deed In nmn rmni object as that from which one of Hie boundary lines should emanalo, when tho position of that object was proved to have been mistaken by the liariius, wuuiu control me hounds of the grant! In equity would it? would it between man and man, the facts being fully mado out! would it be permitted to defeat the manifest intent and purposo of both parlies! We know well it would not. We know that where the lines and bounds of a tract of land are shown by the vender to tho purchaser, either upon the ground or on a plat, and tho description in tho deed docs not cover it, no mattor whether by accident or design, a court of equity will hold tho conveyance to be according to the boundary shown, and so correct the deed. In the acts of Government there is no distinction between law and equity. The appeal to law, as it regards a na tion, is an appeal to Iho national sense of justice, and an obligation much less strong than that which would mnvo a court of equity, in the case nf an individual, ought to bo sufficient, especially in case lilto this, to command the action ofajust and generous nation. But Congress not only intended to give n boundary which included the mouth of the Miami of the Lake and its bay, but tho Ponpln of Ohio, in convention, asked and expected to receive it. They believed tho linn included tho Miami Bay, and a doubt was for the first time thrown upon it by information received from a trapper who roturneil from tho shores ol Lake Michigan while the Convention was in session, which raused Iho insertion of tho proviso in the 7th section of tho fllh articlo of tho constitution. This constitution was accented by Congross without a syllable, yea or nay, on tho subject of oi mo proviso, it was accepted all togolher, PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY SCOTT & WRIGHT too proviso tunning part of it. No objection was urged to it by Conrrress. or hv n,n f',,mm;i. tee of Congress which reported on the Constitution. And when we consider that this proviso ..... uU ciiuiciy in accoruanco with the end and aim of the resolution of Conercss of the 7,1. f T..l T7L'fi ... 1 , - . . 1,r,u which asicsot Virginia a mo uiiiuauoii ui nor ueeu oi cession, with a view to regard natural boundaries, and the commercial relations of the contemplated Siainm 1 1. t ;, accorded with the views of the Legislature of r iigiiiiu, wuu cuangeu meir deed of cession for that express and declared purnoso: that if nn. cords with the views of tho framers nf thn fir. dinauco of 177 as appears by the map of their uay, snowing tneir opinion ot Ihe line which should bound the contemplated States; that it accords also with the opinion of Ihe Congress who passed tho law under which Ohio formed her Constitution and State Government; that this proviso, the solemn act of that People, mot in convention, declares that as.a part nf ihmi- unsiiiuuon mcy asit and cllm of Congress that boundary; and finally, when it is considered that tho whole constitution was accepted without adissent to that proviso, I thiuk astrong ciniauie, n not legal right is presented on the part of Ohio, for the definitive sanction of the boundary which she claims; and that it is an irresistible anneal to tho of tho nation. And I for one care not whether this act bo passed on the ground that Ohio is entitled to the, boundary claimed by law, by equity, or on principles of political justice and expediency but sure 1 am that tho Pcoplo of tl.t Ut.t. C..I . . '" i strongly mat tho concession is due them, and that dissatisfaction will be general and deep if it bo withheld. But it is said that tho rightt of Michigan arc implicated in the adjustment proposed by this bill, and that it cannot pass without doinir in- justice to that Territory but, for myself, I can discover nothing solid in this objection. I have already shown that that Territory has no riirht to any particular boundary, either by virtuo of the ordinanco of 1787, or any of tho acts of congress, n i nave succeeded in establishing this, what is left of her claim on those general principles of pulitical justico and expediency, to which I have appealed in behalf of Ohio! Michigan is a temporary territorial Government, extending over about 177,000 square miles of territory, equal in extent to three of the largest States in the Unhn. It was called into oxislonco by an act of Congress, and so lung as it continues a Territory it is subject to be changed and modified, as to boundary and extent, at tho pleasure of the samo power. The inhabitants have their rights as American citizens secured under the ordinance of 1737, and various acts of Congress, but they havo no territorial rights; and .Michigan, as such, has none against tho will of Congress. The question of expediency only, then occurs in behalf of a State that is to bo hereafter formed north of Ohio and Indiana, and I ask, is it expedient that that Stato should hold tho mouth of the Miami, which has its whole navigable course in Ohio and In. diana, and control its entrance! Those two States aro constructing a canal connecting the Miami bay with the Wabash river: and thai grand work is now delayed, awaking the decis ion of this question. 1 ask, is it expedient that a Stale, which you aro lo form hereafter north of these two States, should hold this outlet of the vast region which is intersected by Ibis canal! That the new State should have delivered to her Iho key, and he the sole keeper, of the entrance lo Iho noble edifice creeled by the industry and enterprise of her neighbors! It is not right. And the prido of those Slates must be wounded, and their sense of justice outraged, by such adetermiiiatiun. Bui again, what policy is there in giving Iho new Slate, when it shall bo created, the jurisdiction over this disputed territory! Is the territory of lhat Stato without it likely to be too small, ordoes it want fur navigable communication! Neither. One hundred and scveuty-seven thousand square miles, an extent equal to the Mm- largest Slates in tho Union, must be formed into no more than two States, and its easlern portion has advantages of navigation equalled by few Slates ou the Atlantic seaboard. Then, with respect to those who belong to the unclaimed part of tho territory who profess lo he contending for their rights, und who accuse Ohio of ambitiun, and usurpation, and injustice; what is their claim, and for what do they con tend! Not tho right of self government, or the right to chooso their own rulers, or the jurisdiction to which they shall be attached for nothing of this is sought to bo wrested from thcin: but they claim to govern their neighbors, who deny them allegiance. Or if not to govern thein, they wish lo Jarre into their fellowship and fraternity those who turn from Ihcm with fear and aversion, and who seek protection from Ohio, wuom mey mum more regardful of their feel ings.and more friendly to theirintercsls. Those, who in the plentiludo of their chivalrv wish tn protect tho weak against tho stromr. would ,1,, well to think of extending that protection over mis people, who , it attached to Michigan, will icci incmseives delivered over to a kind of po ......... UUwUaKu, a,iU nuo mo nanus ot those whom they look upon ns their adversaries and rivals. Something is surely due to the opinions and feelings of these people of the disputed territory. If joined to Michigan, they cannot and they will not he content with theircondition. They contend against it now, like men who are struggling for all that they hold dear and sacred, and against whatever is deemed most calamitous. They thiuk (but I cannot answer for tho correctness of their opinion,) lhat. instead of nn. joy ing the privileges of freemen instead of be ing placed in the hands of a foslcring and paternal government, which would watch over and prulect their interests, and aid in the improvement of their natural advantages, and in the development of their resources Ihov wnnl.l h delivered over to a bitter adversarv. and a do. tcrminod and invctcralo rival. Mr. President, I ask in behalf of Ohio, and I most earnestly ask, an oarly decision of this question. It has been, for years past, the victim of procrastination. For more than 20 years has Ohio presented herself, year after year, at the bar of Congress, as a petitioner for what sho deems her right what this bndy, whenever it has spoken, has declared to be her's, either on principles of justice or of national policy hut sho has been delayed, postponed, and the measure for her redress lust in the other House, without a hearing had, or an opinion elicited. I trust and hupo that it now approaches a ter mination, mid lhat its result will bo such as In satisfy tho public mind, and calm the dissalis factions of our pcoplo, Auction Notice.

TUTTLE Oct. 309 If From the National Intelligencer. in a ueoato which occurred in the IIouso of Itcpresentativcs on .Thursday last, upon the Resolution offered by Col. Johnson, of Ky., for supplying with copies of the printed documents erlain Heads of Department and Bureaus, and other Officers of the Government, some remarks wore made by Mr. Wise, of Virr-inia. which, nl. though tho subject of the debate was in itself of I no great magnitude, deserve to bo brou"ht out into strong relief. We have alwaysbeen under thei impression that a majority of the last IIouso of Representatives was opposed, in conscience and in principle, to the removal of the depositcs of public money from the Bank of the United States; and something was said, in other quarters, of the management by which their votes weto mado to misrepresent their opinions. But we never expected to hear tho facts of such management to be made a matter of nnnfl.lnnt and uncontradicted assertion on the floor of the House, as they were bv Mr. Wise in the remarks WHICH 101IUW. ' REMARKS OF MR. WISE, OF VIRGINIA, In the Howe of Representative!, on Thursday, lth. Mr Wise said, that ho wim nUorlv nnnnnnrl tn this res jluiion on the score of economy; but in another, and much more important point of view, such a resolution was actually abhorrent to the principles of our Govern ment, una 10 tne independence ol the legislation of this House, fcjir, instead of being what we are by tho Con- aiiiuuun, uiiniuepeiiuent orancn oi the Wntioual Legislature, this resolution would resolve us into a mere com- hittick, lo report proceedings of the Legislative deparl- ,c jut-mil cc- uenuunicn may not intend sueli nn ellect, but this resolution does, in semblance and in sntistance, recognize a responsibility on tho part of this House to the Executive forils legislative acts and proceedings. What! sir, has it come to this, that wo shall daily carry to the foot of tho throno a report of our proceedings, in order to show not to the President, hut to Ins very underlings "thus far have wo gone," in order mat incv may say, "thus tar slmlt thou go and no far iner- . J lie Ivxcciilivo department, sir, intermeddles nl ready too much with the performance of our legislative duties and functions, and I do solemnly protest a- uuino, i,;uviiig upon tins written invitation to superintend und interfere with our action here, more than it has already done. I wish tn nresnrvn nin- nu pendence, and tho checks and balances of our Govern ment. I llero Mr. Anthony (of Pa.) made some remarks, which he concluded bv savins' that "ie F.rrrulh-n tn. mrtnu nls had a right to kiiow what we were doing in Mr. Wise again rose and said, that he was astonished to hear such a rigid admitted or claimed lor the Executive on that fhor. Ho would only call tho attention of the House and the country to this claim for tho Executive as a right.' Mr. Johnson, of Kentucky, in reply to the gentleman from Virginia, challenged him to put his finger upon anyone act of Executive usurpation; rcmni king at the same tune, that it was easy lo deal in general denunciations and declarations, but more difficult to support them bv nets. He (.Mr..!.) lojked to the voice of the people ns his guide, and ho doubted not that the President did. The President had been supported, in ull his nci3, by n largo majority of the people, and could, therefore, with more reason, complain of the courso of the gentleman, than the gentleman could of his. Mr. Wise said, in rejoinder, lhat the gentleman from Kentucky, (Col. Johnson,) hod called upon him to do that which it was the easiest tiling imaginable to do. He would give him and the country the information asked tor with the greatest pleasure; he wns happy to havo the opportunity to give tho gentleman n satisfactory and direct reply, mid wns ready and willing to put his linger upon sotiie nets of Executive interference with the legislation of that House. When I speak, however, of Executive interference, I do not mean the net l tl, ".ttrtltll-n, .Ui,., a,iil II I IIIH lie HO llllUt'lSlUOO, U1H the acts of tho whole of the Departments. Is it possible, sir, that the gentleman means it to bo understood by his milking this call, and by his manner of making it, that he himself does not suppose specifications of act.ve iuterniei Idling with our business of leiislntion enn be made) Whv,sir, the gentleman trips! 'Not specify acts of Executive interference! Surely the gentleman knows that the Constitution makes it the duty of the President to eoiniimiiii-ate loCongress, by his Message, his, the Executive's, views of all our relations, and 'nu all subjects nf legislation, lie isennstitiitioiially bound to give us officially his opinions on what we should do, ami should not do, as legislators. Hut let not ihe genileuian understand me as pointing to ii.t constitutional dittii as one of my specifications of Executive iiitrrfercncc. To send us his nicssngo is no net of inleriiKililling, ii is nn net of dutv nml obligation. Mr, I do not intend to evade tho gentleman's cull. 1 never will evade any responsibility on any occasion. 1 allude to this nmslitutitinal duty, to contrast it expressly mm inner aeis winch the resident's or t ic Executive's duly lorbiils. I allude to it for the purpose of reminding urn Hi iiiii-iii.nl mat ino inhslltlltmn ll.xes Uio measure and mode of Executive interposition in nets nf leirishi- lion. I he Constitution intends that the President shall, by n public message, call our attention Ui nil siihiectsof legislative action, nml that then tho Executive functions shall cense until we havo perlormed our nets, and referred them lo lino for his constitutional sanction or veto, And the Constitution intends, must cautiously nml ii-nl. ously intends, that whilst performing our acts, whilst deliberating, whilst discussing, whilst deciding upon laivs, in ne pnsseu or rejected, we shall he tree und independent of Executive iulluence. And now, sir, what I have said, meant to say, and mean to repeat, is, that we .uu nn urns ore nun independent, ihai tno rixecutive docs iicmiffMr, improperly, tlnngcrouslv.nnd frequent ly, with our legislative action! The gentleman nsks of nic lo point to the instances, and 1 will specify sumo of them. Wns it not admitted the other dnv on this floor, bv n member nl "ihe parte." and die chairman nf n eotiiinil. tee, (Mr. 8atherlnnd,) that our committees do not make their own reports! Who dors make them! not write them, w,make them? Who but those who ore consult ed, and who advise on all our lending measures, and upon the "nuen" of the "cid" of nil our measures ! The underlines and all tell us what is to he Hon,-. nn.l what not! Cpnn the Appropriation bills, particularly, mm mm me eiuei coinroi, tne executive or the Legislative Department? Sir, I refer to nil the members of the House ns witnesses. I nsk of nil the chairmen of committees, of every member of each committee, if tho Executive Departments do not interfero with our legislation? Not always, perhaps, with the knowledge and consent or by Ihe onlnrof the President, but habitually without ordors, and always in pursuance of their own interests. But this in dealing too much in generalities for my own interest, and is trilling, comparatively, with a subject of most serious moment. I will specify a more signal nnd a wnrning instance of Executive interference with the legislntivc action of this House by the President himself, the facts in relation to which I can verify and riinke good beforo the House nnd the nation. Sir, the power of tho President over a single appoint-mcnt alone, commanded, on this floor, thirti-five votes ot lcns', in favor of one ot the most importnrit Executive acts which ever agitated this country or affected its interests. On no other question than the great Dcposite Question of last session, I verily believe and have reason to know I would, if required, mnke oath in support ot the opinion that the majority of tho House was decidedly against the set of the President, in reason, conviction, and conse encc. But, sir, tho true sense of the Commons wns stifled. The Speaker of the House wns kept in tlrnt chair, (jininting to the Speaker's chair,) with nn Executive promise in his )ocket until tho work of the ninstcr wns finished. There sal the Sneaker, like ii i .ii,i , i .mi w-e oooy pontic, wlneli lniiulieil its roots to more than two or three, or two or three dozen seats on this Moor! There were no less than four chairmen nfl tne prmcijiai standing committees with their eves of aspiiuiion nxeii iiion that high place, each longing tn be successor to the incumlieiit ; ami besides these, there wns an.inier rnnitiiiate, also ou nn iiiimriant committee, i .. mi iimiiiiigoi tne sunorilinateson these coinuiiltees, who no doubt were some of them willing to have their i-iiiiiriiiun respectively elected Speaker, to crenle n fair Micunry inr ihemselyes, it is surely moderate in ealeit latum lo say thnt each ol those live candidate had nt 1..B..I - 1...IC .1 ..I' I - ' . , .. i. ii min inizi-ii iii ze.noiis inenos tnev were poor ""1 yuan nor. r.nin enniiuiute looked to what is nere called "tlitmuiistration rafri," a term whief imioris i-.xeeutive intorlerenee, bv tho hv, lo elect him I and according to inv arithmetic, sir, the five candidates with their six friends each, msHo thirty-five No. .oiis, nun aecoi amg io tne worth ot the prize of Speak- er's chair, were morally certain to be "Administration rofrj." Ecss than one-third of that number of votes' would, if changed from one side to tho other, havo I changed the vole of the House on that vital oucstion- and 1 presume that no one here, who see ,! k iv. fivo votes, taken ns ihe least possible number in hn nf wu uii sue aim kiiow, can uouiit mat these thirti- fected, were not influenced by,"but left free and independent of Executive influence! Dv tho aid of them. two officers, the Minister to England and the Spcitkerof in,. nu in ucpii-neiiuuivcs, tne one executive, the other Legislative one of whom the President appoints, tho other he does not actually npioint the President, 1 suppose, was not enabled to command a majority on this floor! What may not our President do in legislation when he hus our Speaker for hie tool? So much for specifications, by which, let it bo understood, I do not intend to be involved in any personalities. The gentleman says that ho "looks to tho voice of uie i e epic" j Aye, sir, and so do I, and so do we all. i nu Hum is now snort in uuo time, sir yet a little wniic longer, and that voice s in nnmp ,m tn no ,wi m luyn uiui.l-h in tones oi inunder: The gentleman says that I have denounced the Presf dent. Denounced the President! I deny it, sir. Twice have I supported the President for his office, with a zeal, if not ability, which might exert itself equally ardent again, under the same circumstances. But, sir, nor for . L nnr inr myafill, will I enn.-al f.at .! truths irom the reople, when they are so pointedly calf ed lor both by tho irentlcmnn and the mod nf thn rnnn. 'T'i H"8 come. 10 t'"1' Pol'tical '""h dare not be yum !esi tne i resiucnt be denounced .' Yes, Bir, there is o pnrtv which UUlke thn Prnaiilpnt Hn ai-tmn rrr.nft "fur its sins, and which always takes shelter under his great name. Thero are those who, if their acts be denounced, always raise the cry of "denunciation against the President," who has as much reason as any man I know of, to iruy God to savo him from somo of his Iricnds! Why should I il, -nmittr-i- the Prntnlnnt in thn uiscussion ol this" question He docs not, 1 hojie, call i n mis resolution. 1-or tho country's sake, I hope he docs not desire this debasing obsequiousness from this House. No patriot can ask thnt unc deimrtment nf nnr (inverninent shall humble itself to another. Sir, I hope that the gentleman himself, if he apprehended what 1 do Irom this resolution, would withdraw it and smirn it I have that respect for him to believe he knows thnt I ain personally his friend that if he foresaw the effects which i think 1 foresee Irom this, his measure, so humiliating lo this House, bo would abundun it at once. But, sir, I must sa-', not, however, in nllusion to this in- stnnce, that there are too many voluntary and irrntuitouB offerings of fealty und flattery made to" tho President, which must nauseate him who is nttempted to he flattered by them, which gall the spiritsof Ircemcn attached to him, nnd which iiiijiair tho spirit of free institutions to which those freemen arc still more attached. Sir, tho underlings always transcend, infinitely transcend the utmost ambition of Kings themselves in doing honor and homage; and too often nrc our Presidents compelled to he answerable, mid made to be odious, for the ollicioiisncss of adulation and praise! I never will holt, however, in the path of my duty, because the President or his parasites stnnd in my w ay. The gentleman has said that he did not exjicct such n delta to as this to arise upon such n proposition. I should have Ivpen surprised indeed, if no voice here had been raised (gainst such n proposition. This is no small matter, either in point of the money or of the principle which is proposed to be squandered nnd prostrated; und 1 beg tho gentleman to reflect that the line of march towards the concentration and consolidation of power Is always begun bv short steps nt lirst, which ore gradually nnd imperceptibly stretched into vast and fast strides," hastening onwards to the certain and fearful end of despotism!Mr. Johnson, of Kent uett y. then said, thnt the iremlo- man had, no doubt, spoken what he believed to he true, in which he was perfectly justifiable. But what be had stnted was a matter of personal ojiinion, in which he t-'u- oiu not coincide, l-or his own part, though he had been in this and the other House lur twenty-nine essive years ever since the first sessinn after the m on flic Chesapeake he couiu conscientiously that he had never acted under anv iinnrniior influ'- ence, mid had never known any other member so to net. On the occasion alluded to by the gentleman from Vir ginia, he had not the least doubt that every member, on one side as well as on the other, voted conricntiouslv, nnd iree mini r.xecuuve or oilier improper influence.
